2024 Paris Olympic gold medalist Yulo gets a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

MANILA: Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Edriel Yulo was given a Land Cruiser Prado following his achievements at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In a Facebook post, Toyota Motor Philippines announced its gift to the athlete.

“We hope this vehicle helps bring you to greater heights. We are excited to see where your journeys can take further take you,” the leading local automotive distributor said in the social media post.

“Enjoy the freedom to move! Thank you for bringing immense thrill, joy, and pride to the nation.”

Further, the company also said that it is also looking forward to working with Yulo on his chosen advocacy, which is food security especially for children in need.

Quietly launched in the country last month, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado measures 4,925 millimeters (mm) long; 1,980 mm wide; and 1,935 mm tall. Offered with a starting price of P4.8 million, the vehicle can be had in any of the three colors namely White Pearl Mica, Avant Garde Bronze, and Black Mica.

Inside, the seven-seater sport utility vehicle is equipped with leather seats (electronically-adjustable for front occupants) two 12.3-inch digital displays (cluster gauge and Android Auto- and Apple Carplay-ready infotainment system), and wireless charging dock.

Powering the aforementioned model is a four-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve double overhead cam turbo gasoline engine that can dish out 277 horses and 430 Newton-meters of torque. Its mill — which offers six drive modes (Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport S, Sports S+, Custom) — is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Control and stopping power come from ventilated disc brakes.

The myriad of technologies available in the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado include the Toyota Safety Sense suite of features as well as vehicle security system.
